[TEST RELEASE] Cryptonite binary for linux (NEW: Qt and Windows builds)

[bitfreak!]

algo? pow?

It uses a new PoW algorithm we call "M7", but we don't want to reveal the exact details right now.

ok just clarify me, is this algorithm cpu minable only, cpu/gpu, or whatever.

When we release the coin it will include only CPU miner. It is possible to create a GPU miner but GPU will have somewhat harder time with it than other algos.

This is anonymous? Nice name "Cryptonite". Very similar to "CryptoNight".

Will help with testing.

More or less difficult than CryptoNight algo? More or less difficult than Wild Keccak algo?

Lets just say it uses multiple hashing algorithms and it doesn't include any memory-hard qualities like scrypt.

Can you make a binary version using libdb5.3?

Code:

Package libdb4.8++-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

When is this going to be released? cause i havent slept yet and i need to know

You don't need to install the -dev package. Just install libdb4.8. I take it you are a debian user? I have had a similar problem.

Not really sure... a month or two, maybe more, maybe less.

Premine?

[bitfreak!]

No there will be no BS, no premine and many efforts to prevent an instamine.

Approved coin!

I think we are ready for you now. Download new client, MD5 775ddf55fa630ef37556a1ed6810dbd1. Delete cryptonite folder, save and restore wallet if you like.

Your script may have some problems now since it is impossible to have identical transactions in the same block. You can get around this by setting the message parameter to a random string or changing the amount of the transactions slightly.

We were trying to find a bug where transactions will show up with -1 confirmations in listtransactions. Some things were tried and it hasn't been seen in a bit, but no real solid explanation of what it was or how to reproduce it has been found. If you see this please send us your debug.log file.

ffs I've been looking and looking and for the life of me, my tired eyes cannot find the message parameter you are referring to.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10.

I installed libdb4.8 and I still get

Code:

./cryptonited: error while loading shared libraries: libdb_cxx-4.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Will it all be open source?

I am certain you need libdb4.8++-dev installed to get this running... though it was late when I finally did get mine working.

Will it all be open source?

I believe the current plan is that launch will be full source plus prebuilt windows binaries. Linux binaries are just for testing phase. They are kind of difficult to get compiled in such a way to work across distros. If there is a lot of demand we could do linux binaries.

Some other interesting features this coin will have besides an original PoW algo and mini-blockchain:

* mini-blockchain allows messages in all transactions without risking bloat
* block reward updated every block to allow smooth distribution of coins
* difficulty is updated every block (not sure if truly original algo)
* dynamic max block size (will change each block; not yet implemented)
* withdrawal limit can be set on addresses (not really implemented yet)

And yes billotronic, it will be completely open source.

Cryptonite also does not necessarily know the origin of coins. Common utilities such a
blockchain explorer may be practically impossible.

Does this mean it's anonymous?

It means may have premine and u will never know.
Besides being anonymous.
